SURVEY
As a busy practitioner, Insight keeps me up‑to date with ground breaking research and the latest technological advances in ophthalmic equipment, and provides me with practical clinical resources. The platform is an efficient and reliable way for practitioners and support staff to stay informed about the developments in the ophthalmic industry.”
“ “ “
Shonit Jagmohan, optometrist and director, Vision Camberwell
Insight is my first port of call to gain an update on the eye health industry. The coverage is balanced and professional. I have been impressed with the extent to which the articles are researched and organised with the clear intention of providing a full perspective on issues. There is a good balance of clinical, industry, political and business news. It is a required read for all eyecare professionals.”
Dr Peter Sumich, partner, Hunter Street Eye Specialists Parramatta; president, Australian Society of Ophthalmologists
“
As a clinical ophthalmologist, and also in my role as treasurer of the Australian Society of Ophthalmologists, I find Insight magazine a great resource for finding what’s going on in the vision care industry broadly, and in my specific clinical fields (cornea, cataract, refractive). The reporting is timely, and I find it accurate and useful. I do like it when I hear the opinions of my colleagues in my field on various topics. I also use the website resources when I’m searching for historical information on a particular topic. I have been interviewed by the editor who’s a sensible and sensitive person who asks the right questions.”
“Having an independent practice with only four staff, one can lose touch with the industry, but Insight keeps me up to date with latest developments and new technology. I’m a reader of the print copy, and tend to read what catches my attention online with the weekly newsletter and the digital version of the magazine too. I’m an occasional contributor, and appreciate having a platform to discuss and debate important industry issues.”
Jim Kokkinakis, principal optometrist, The Eye Practice
Dr Laurie Sullivan, founding director, Baydside Eye Specialists, and Laser Sight Melbourne

CPD CONTENT INSIGHT MAGAZINE
At Insight magazine we are continually seeking opportunities to bring our audience diverse and meaningful content so they can provide the best care for their patients.
That’s why in 2022 we introduced Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for optometrists, adding to our reputation as a key information source for the ophthalmic sector.
Experienced editor Jeff Megahan oversees Insight’s CPD content as a Comissioning
Editor, Healthcare Education. He has 10 years’ experience working in ophthalmic publishing, including as an editor of key publications at Optometry Australia. He’s well acquainted with the requirements under the new CPD regulations, and abreast of the issues optometrists want to learn about most.
As an Insight commercial partner, CPD content provides a new and exciting way for ophthalmic product suppliers to work with us on developing CPD articles
related to their field, written by academics, clinicians and other key opinion leaders. This independent, arm's length approach ensures greater engagement with our eyecare professional audience who are incentivised to read the article to its end.
Email Insight Business Development Manager Luke Ronca to inquire: luke.ronca@primecreative.com.au.
We look forward to offering more CPD content in 2025 and beyond.
